education. In addition, they will have the foundational skills necessary to compete in a global workforce.
Grounded in the safety of a community which values each and every one of them, students will seek ways to
serve that community. Service to their class, their school, and their wider community will be an ongoing
theme which will increase through the years. Falls Lake Academy is thrilled to play a role in the
development of the citizens who will guide the future of Granville County, the state of North Carolina, and
the United States. We invite you to join us!”

6FLA PROCEDURES:
FAST: FLA offers an after school care program (“FAST,” for Firebird After-School Time) which is fully
funded through fees paid by the parents. FAST is available from 2:45-6:00pm every school day, EXCEPT
on early release days and remote learning days. Information about FAST program elements and fee
structures is available in the FLA office. FAST will not operate on early release days nor on remote
learning days.
INCLEMENT WEATHER CLOSINGS AND DELAYS: FLA does not necessarily close school, delay
the opening of school, or dismiss school early just because Granville, Durham, Wake, or other school
systems in this area make those calls for their own schools. We are separate and independent from all area
school systems, and we make our own decisions about closings and delays. When the weather is bad, we
will send out a notice via our SchoolMint system (see “Parent Communications' ' on another page in this
Handbook) by both phone and e-mail alerts. We will also post FLA weather-related closings and delays on
our own website (www.fallslakeacademy.com), on WRAL-TV Channel 5, and social media.
JUPITER ED: Grading and data management is done through Jupiter Ed. Parents are expected to check
Jupiter Ed at least once per day. This is Falls Lake Academy’s primary method of communication with
parents regarding grading, attendance, behavior and general information. It is required that parents have
access to this and use it routinely. You will be contacted by your PAA if you are not accessing Jupiter on a
regular basis.
LUNCH: FLA has no cafeteria and does not participate in the federal school lunch program. FLA
students eat lunch in their classrooms under the supervision of their own teachers. There are two options for
lunch at FLA:
1. Bring lunch from home; or 2. Pre-order and pre-pay catered lunches approximately a month at a
time (in advance) through our online system – to order lunches go to www.orgsonline.com and enter code
313FLANC or see information distributed during Intake / Open House about the online lunch ordering
system.
*During COVID restrictions parents will not be allowed to drop off food during the day.
MEDICAL FORMS: Medical forms can be found on our website, on the Nurse’s Station page, under
Student Info.
SCHOOL DAY HOURS: 7:45am – 2:45pm (elementary, grades K-5); 8:00am – 3:15pm (middle school,
grades 6-8); 8:15am – 3:40pm (high school, grades 9-12). Students who arrive after school starts are tardy;
parents must come to the office to check them in. Students must be in attendance the majority of the school
day in order to be counted Present, otherwise they are Absent even if they are here part of the day. No
students will be called to check out after 2:30pm (elementary); 2:45pm (middle school); 3:10pm (high
school) except with permission from the Executive Director or the Directors. [See “Attendance” on the
following pages for details.]
*During COVID restrictions, if students are tardy or being picked up early, parents must call the
office and remain in their vehicle until their student is brought out to them.
WE DO NOT EAT LUNCH AT SCHOOL ON EARLY RELEASE DAYS. FAST DOES NOT OPERATE
ON EARLY RELEASE DAYS.

STUDENT DROP-OFF and PICK-UP: Students may not be dropped off before 7:15am. High school
students may not be dropped off before 7:30; HS students will not be allowed into the ES/MS
building. Likewise, students must be picked up by 3:30pm (elementary); 4:00pm (middle school); 4:10pm
(high school) unless they are enrolled in FAST (“Firebird After-School Time”), our after-school program, or
are legitimately involved in school-sponsored co- or extra-curricular activities. Parents of students dropped
off before 7:15am or 30 minutes after their pick up time will be warned by mail; if too-early drop-off or too-
late-pick-up continues, parents risk being referred to the Department of Social Services and/or law
enforcement.
Parents of Elementary school students MUST bring their child to check in. Parents of Elementary and
Middle school students MUST come into the office to check students out of school. High school students
who drive can check themselves out, with prior parent permission.
9*During COVID restrictions, if students are tardy or being picked up early, parents must call the
office and remain in their vehicle until their student is brought out to them.
TRANSPORTATION: FLA provides no bus transportation. All transportation – including to and from
school as well as field trips and all other student trips – is the responsibility of the parents. Parents who are
willing to drive for field trips, athletic events, and other student activities are required to sign an insurance
release waiver assuming responsibility for the students in their vehicles and releasing FLA from
responsibility in the event of an accident or injury. The parents of students who will be riding in other
parents’ vehicles to games, field trips, etc. must likewise sign a waiver releasing both FLA and the driver of
the vehicle from liability and responsibility except in cases of negligence. [Both waiver release forms are
available in the FLA office.]
CARPOOL PROCEDURES: All students arrive and are dismissed from school via carpool. The
Department of Transportation has specified a traffic pattern that FLA must follow to reduce the amount of
cars stacked on public roadways surrounding our campus. It is very important for families to follow the
traffic patterns during arrival and dismissal, both for the safety of our students, and for the purposes of
DOT’s requirements. A color-coded traffic map is provided to families each school year and is available on
our website. Please do not get out of your car during drop-off or pick-up.
Parents will not be able to park their car and help students out of the car at any time. Students should be able
to unbuckle and open/close the car door independently.
ARRIVAL PROCEDURES: Middle and elementary students may be dropped off at FLA beginning at
7:15 each morning. High school students may be dropped off at 7:45 at the high school building. ES and
MS staff will not be in place until 7:15 and therefore, no students should be left on campus. HS staff will
not be in place until 7:45. Parents are asked to follow the directions of the traffic team members during
arrival and dismissal. Our traffic team members are trained to keep traffic flowing while maintaining safety
at all times. Please anticipate a line in the mornings and arrive on campus accordingly. Excessive carpool
lines will not be an excuse for tardy students. The North Parking lot is by permit only. Visitors and
parents parking for appointments or field trips must use the South Lot.
After the first ten days of school, no parents of Elementary students will be allowed past the front doors
without prior permission from the Director to walk students to class. No Middle school students’ parents
will be allowed down to the classroom prior to the start of the day, nor allowed in the classroom at lunch,
without prior permission from the Director.
*Parents will not be allowed to walk students in at all during COVID restrictions.
FOOD IS NOT PERMITTED IN ANY FLA GYM DURING BEFORE SCHOOL OR DURING
SCHOOL HOURS. Students may not bring their breakfast into the gym or into classrooms before
school.
DISMISSAL PROCEDURES: FLA uses a code system to scan cars during dismissal. This code is used
to notify students that their ride has arrived in the carpool. Codes will be sent home with students and
should be taped inside of the bottom corner driver’s side windshield. Families should anticipate waiting in
line for dismissal. It is important that students be picked up on time each day. Safety is our first priority!
“LOST AND LONELY”: When a child is left at Falls Lake Academy 30 minutes or more past their
school’s dismissal time, the following will result:
1. Attempt to contact the parents by phone.
2. Attempt to contact the persons listed on the child’s emergency card.
23. If the child has not been picked up within 30 minutes or more of dismissal and staff is unable
to contact anyone, SRO will be called.
When students are not picked up within 30 minutes after school is dismissed the child’s parent or guardian
will receive up to two warning letters. If a third incident occurs, a conference with the Executive Director
will be required and the SRO will be notified.
VISITING OUR CAMPUS: All adults who volunteer in the classrooms, who drive other parents’ kids to
and from student trips and/or games, field trips, or who otherwise have any interaction with kids must first
submit to a criminal background check at their own expense. Background check forms are available on the
school website. The background check is valid for three years. The cost to each person is $25.
[Board Policy 5.0200 SCHOOL VISITORS]
I. VISITORS WELCOME
The Board welcomes parents and other visitors to Falls Lake Academy, and actively encourages parents and
others with personal or professional interest in the school and its educational programs to visit and become
familiar with FLA’s approaches to teaching and learning, subject to the provisions of this policy.
Specifically, visitors are welcome:
- at all events and programs open to the public, such as athletic contests and arts performances;
- at all special programs and events designed to showcase parts of the FLA educational program;
- at all meetings of PTA, the Firebird Flight Crew, and other parent and/or community support groups;
- at all open meetings of the Falls Lake Academy Board of Directors; and
- in the actual classrooms during the instructional day, subject to the provisions of this policy.
II. PROCEDURES
While the Board welcomes visitors to the school, the paramount concern of the Board is to provide a safe,
orderly, and inviting learning environment in which disruptions to instruction and instructional time are kept
to a minimum. In addition to such reasonable rules and procedures as may be established and enforced by
the Principal, the following requirements always apply to visitors in the school:
1. All school visitors during instructional hours must report immediately upon arrival to the school
Director’s office and check in to receive permission to be on school grounds and in the school and its
classrooms. Permission to visit classrooms during face-to-face instruction is generally limited to parents of
students in those classes who have particular and compelling reasons for such visits, to guests of the
teachers in those classrooms designated for those visits, and to professional educators and students who seek
to observe the classroom for the purpose of gathering information and deeper understanding of the
educational programs and/or methods being used therein.
2. After having been approved to be on school grounds during instructional hours, all school visitors must
check in and display whatever visitor’s identification is required by the school for instructional-hours
visitors throughout their stay during instructional hours.
3. School visitors shall comply with all school rules and Board policies, including 5.0250 ITEMS AND
MATERIALS PROHIBITED ON CAMPUS.
4. Individuals who are subject to policy 5.0220 REGISTERED SEX OFFENDERS must comply with the
provisions of that policy.
5. Individuals who are discovered on-campus during instructional hours without having received permission
to visit and/or who are not displaying visitor’s identification will be instructed to report to the school
3Director’s office immediately, ordered off the premises, and/or may be subject to possible arrest for
criminal trespass.
6. Classroom visitors are required to respect the educational environment at all times. Neither teachers nor
students may be interrupted during the course of the teaching and learning process by visitors for any reason
at any time unless invited to limited participation by the school Director or by the classroom teacher in the
classroom being visited. When visitors have questions or concerns, they are encouraged to arrange for a
conference with the classroom teacher to seek answers and/or further information. If such a conference does
not adequately address a visitor’s questions or concerns, they are encouraged to submit those questions and
concerns to the school Director or follow the procedures outlined in Board policy 7.1500-7.1500
GRIEVANCE PROCEDURES.
7. Visitors who – in the opinion of the school Director, or their designee in their absence, exhibit unusual,
disruptive, disorderly, threatening, or dangerous behavior, who damage school property, who violate Board
policy, and/or who disrupt the educational environment at any time while on school property will be
instructed to leave campus and will be prosecuted for trespassing if they do not do so immediately. The
Board authorizes the school Director to prohibit these and any other individuals who display or exhibit
similar disruptive behavior from entering upon school grounds, entering the school building, or attending
any other events sponsored by the school or in which the school is involved or participates.
Visitors who wish to volunteer or have regular contact with and/or interact with the kids directly are
required to have a criminal background check on file.
VOLUNTEER HOURS: Falls Lake Academy welcomes and encourages parent volunteers as it’s an
important component in the education process. We believe parents enhance the learning experiences for
students. The more you know about what takes place with your child’s education, the more you can
continue and expand upon the learning at home. Your involvement helps us to maintain a safe, secure and
nurturing learning environment for all of our students and staff. Firebird families are required to complete
10 hours of volunteer time at Falls Lake Academy each year. Parent hours must be submitted online. To
submit your hours log on to the school website under Parents, and complete the Parent Volunteer Tracking
Log google form.
21st CENTURY SKILLS and 21st CENTURY LEARNING: Today’s students face a very different
world than their parents faced. FLA pays close attention to learning which prepares our students to be
successful in the world of college, work, or whatever else they choose to do when they leave us. This effort
includes all the following, and more.
COMMON CORE and NC ESSENTIAL STANDARDS: FLA follows and is tested on the Common
Core State Standards (“CCSS”) and the NC Essential Standards (“NCES”). Details about both the CCSS
and the NCES can be found on the NC Department of Public Instruction website
(http://www.dpi.state.nc.us).
COMMUNICATION: Our students’ parents are our partners in the education of our kids. Keeping
parents informed of their student progress is essential. All teachers are expected to incorporate the
following elements of communication into their regular, routine procedures.
PAA (Personal Adult Advocate) Contacts- PAA contacts are made ONCE A MONTH with a
phone call or Jupiter email home. This should be documented in Jupiter for all grade levels. This is
mandatory.
4When parents call or email, teachers and Directors should respond within a 24-hour period. This
does NOT apply to weekends or holidays. However, if something happens during the school day
with a student the parent will be contacted before school is dismissed.
Ways we may communicate with parents and our community:
Message through Jupiter Ed
Teacher webpages
Email
Phone calls
Conference
GRADING SYSTEM: FLA students in grades (K-8) are graded on their mastery levels of the learning
objectives in the various subject areas (reading, math, etc.). Students are graded on a grading scale as
follows:
Grade Meaning Numerical span
M Mastery of most subject-area learning objectives 90-100
P Proficiency on most subject-area learning objectives, but not mastery 80-89
NW Passing, but not yet proficient 70-79
NY Not passing Below 70
INC Course requirements are incomplete; student’s grade cannot be calculated*
*The grade of “INC” reverts to the grade of “NY” at the end of the term if not rectified
GRADING: K-12 As educators our job is to focus on content mastery for students.
● Grades are kept in Jupiter Ed, our online gradebook system.
● All grades must be entered into Jupiter within 5 school days from collecting the assignment.
● Reteach/Second testing opportunities must be provided for all summative assessments, unless prior
notification has been given to students, parents and administration otherwise.
● Re-teaching must occur prior to second testing.
● The second test grade (unless it is lower than the original grade) should replace the original grade in
Jupiter. Second tests can also replace previous quiz grades by teacher discretion.
● Late assignments will be accepted and graded by teacher discretion and while the content of the
assignment and/or unit is still being taught.
● Students have three school days to make up assignments missed during an absence. Therefore, if a
student misses 2 days, then he/she has 6 school days to turn in missing assignments.
● If students are not completing assignments as instructed on a regular basis, parents will be personally
notified and students will be required to attend Lunch Academy and/or Firetime depending on your
school. This applies to work missing from approved absences as well.
Homework
The purpose of homework for students at FLA is to provide opportunities for practice without penalty.
Therefore, homework assignments are not graded for completion or accuracy. Homework is used for
informational purposes only.
REMEDIATION AND SECOND TESTING: In academic classes students may take a second test, if
they failed a summative assessment, in order to show mastery of the material. All summative assessments
are eligible for remediation and second testing unless otherwise indicated by the teacher and communicated
to the students and parents beforehand. However, in all cases, the classroom or course teacher has the
authority to set the terms and conditions of remediation/second testing. Students must complete required
pre-testing assignments before they will be allowed to take a second test.
5STATE TESTING: In addition to the curriculum we teach (see “Common Core and NC Essential
Standards,” above), we are subject to the same state testing requirements as all other NC public schools.
Students in grades 3-8 are subject to NC End-of-Grade (“EOG”) tests in Reading and Math. Some years,
some or all of them may also test in Science. Students in high school (grades 9-12) are responsible for those
high school End-of-Course (“EOC”) tests designated by the NC Department of Public Instruction as
required by certain subjects.
PROJECT-BASED LEARNING (“PBL”): PBL is a highly-refined system of teamwork-centered,
research-using learning activities designed to bring students into a deeper, much more thorough
understanding of the subject material and the process by which that understanding is demonstrated.
Throughout the school year, parents are invited to observe their child’s POL (Presentation of Learning)
presentations. PBL presentations are graded assessment activities which count heavily in student grading
and promotion. PBL projects are graded in three categories: Content, Collaboration, and Presentation. All
three grades count in the calculation of the final grade for each project. Students must dress appropriately
for Presentations of Learning. Expectations for PBL are that students will collaborate and be able to
publicly present their findings.
PROMOTION AND RETENTION:
A. Early Elementary Grades (K-2)
1. Satisfactory performance on all relevant [K-2] state literacy and math assessments
2. Satisfactory classroom performance on all teacher-initiated standards and criteria for
advancement and promotion

6Course credit criteria:
a) Classification as Freshman: All students are classified as Freshmen in their first two semesters of high
school, regardless of credits earned
b) Classification as Sophomore: A student must have passed the number of unit equal to his/her maximum
potential less than 2 units. One credit must be English I.
c) Classification as Junior: A student must have passed the number of units equal to his/her maximum
potential less than 3 units. One credit must be English II.
d) Classification as Senior: Enough earned course credits to be within reach of graduation by the end of that
school year. One credit must be English IV.
*Maximum potential is defined as an individual student's opportunity to have earned high school credit. For
example, a freshman enrolled at FLA for a full academic year has the maximum potential to earn 8 credits
per year. To be classified as a sophomore, that student must pass 6 credits, one of which must be English I.
E. High School Graduation Standards
[Board policy 3.8200 HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATION AND EXIT STANDARDS]
The Board believes that Falls Lake Academy graduates should exemplify the highest standards possible in
terms of preparation for the world beyond high school including success in college and the world of work,
national and global citizenship and competitiveness, and community involvement. To that end, the Board
adopts these high school graduation and exit standards, by which FLA Directors and teachers shall
determine how graduating students shall be identified, approved, and honored as FLA graduates.

8Information about High School Courses
● Students earn one unit of credit for each successfully completed course. There are some courses
that require a double period or full year to complete. You will find this information listed with the
prerequisites. Students receive additional credits for these courses as noted.
● All courses use the NC approved Common Core and Essential Standards of Study.
● The 4X4 block schedule gives students the opportunity to take more than one course in a year in
any content area.
● Falls Lake Academy High School does not grant mid-year grade promotion.
● Important information about content areas is outlined at the beginning of each section.
● Honors courses require students to demonstrate a high level of academic rigor, manage complex
assignments, and move at a faster pace.
- Special Note about Advanced Placement Courses Advanced Placement (AP) courses are designed to
meet the College Board’s rigorous standards for an Advanced Placement class and be the equivalent
of a college level course for which students may, depending on the AP Exam score, receive college
credit.
Extensive course guidelines are provided by the College Board, and teachers are required to maintain
current AP authorization by following those guidelines with the requisite academic rigor. Students
are expected to take the AP Exam as the culminating activity for AP courses, and must do so in order
to receive AP weighting

The FLA Director shall convene a committee of high school faculty each fall to review the existing
Graduation Project standards and requirements and make recommendations to the full high school faculty
concerning any changes, additions, deletions, and/or modifications reached by consensus for that year’s
graduating seniors’ Graduation Projects. The full high school faculty shall affirm or deny such changes,
additions, deletions, and/or modifications by a vote of the full faculty (majority rule carries vote).
IV. EARLY GRADUATION
Students who are on-track to meet graduation requirements by the end of their 7th semester in high school
may apply for early graduation at the end of that semester. Students who are approved to graduate at the end
of their 7th semester shall be awarded all honors and/or recognitions due them as part of the graduating
class of that academic school year, including the privilege of walking in the graduate line at the following
spring’s commencement exercises (barring other disqualifying factors) and being named in the list of Honor
Graduates, if applicable.
V. GRADUATION HONORS
A. Honor Graduates: Falls Lake Academy graduates shall be named Honor Graduates in three categories:
Cum Laude graduates, Magna Cum Laude graduates, and Summa Cum Laude graduates. GPA standards for
each of the three categories shall be set and periodically reviewed by the Board upon the recommendation
of the FLA high school Director, as those standards evolve in North Carolina and surrounding counties.
Determination of Honor Graduate status each year shall be determined by the students’ cumulative weighted
GPAs. Honor graduates shall be identified in the graduation line by specific regalia insignia corresponding
to each category.
B. Valedictorian and Salutatorian: The students ranked #1 and #2 in each graduating class, respectively,
shall be named Valedictorian and Salutatorian. Both shall be afforded the privilege, barring other
disqualifying factors, to speak at Commencement. The ranking of students to determine who will be named
Valedictorian and Salutatorian shall be determined by the students’ cumulative weighted GPAs. The
ranking of students to determine who will be named Valedictorian and Salutatorian shall be determined by
the students’ cumulative weighted GPAs, out to the fourth decimal point. If the top two ranked students are
tied out to the fourth decimal point, they will both be named valedictorians and the student with the third
highest GPA will be named salutatorian.
C. Additional Honors: Graduates shall be recognized and awarded honors each year for the widest possible
range of academic and other significant achievements as approved by the Board upon recommendation of
the chief FLA administrator. Such recognition includes, but is not necessarily limited to, such things as the
10North Carolina Academic Scholars’ seal, the International Baccalaureate and/or Advanced Placement
program diplomas, and individual FLA awards. Medals, pins, and other award insignia relating to these
awards may be worn on the students’ graduation attire as appropriate.
VI. JUNIOR MARSHALLS
The top 10 ranked students in each year’s Junior class shall be invited to serve as Marshalls at
Commencement Exercises for that year, barring other disqualifying factors.
ATTENDANCE
EXTREMELY IMPORTANT: FIRST DAY ATTENDANCE IS MANDATORY! ABSENCE ON
THE FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL WILL RESULT IN THE LOSS OF A STUDENT’S ENROLLMENT
SLOT!
ABSENCES: Absences are excused for the following reasons only:
1. Illness or injury requiring hospitalization, bed rest, or parent-approved recuperation time at home.
2. Medical quarantine imposed by the Health Department.
3. Religious observance (parents must request excused absences status for this in advance).
4. Death in the immediate family.
5. Medical or dental appointment (excused only when a doctor’s or dentist’s note is presented).
6. Special circumstances requested by the parents and approved by the school Director.
7. Active deployment and/or on leave from active deployment or immediately returning from active
deployment.
Approved school-sponsored and school-sanctioned trips and events which take the student out of class are
not considered absences at all; participating students are marked “present in class.”
When a student returns to school after an absence, he/she must bring a written note from home, signed and
dated by the parent, stating the reason(s) for the student’s absence and indicating the date(s) of the absence.
EXCESSIVE ABSENCES and TARDIES: Parents shall be informed periodically about the status of their
children’s attendance. In addition, the Board reaffirms that class attendance and participation are critical
elements of the educational process and will be taken into account in assessing academic achievement and
grade promotion.
Specifically:
1. Parents shall be informed when their children have accumulated 3, 6, 10, and 15 unexcused absences
and/or tardies from school and/or from any individual class and the SRO will be informed.
2. Upon the occasion of a student’s 10th absence, the parent(s)/guardian(s) of the student will be called in
for a conference with the Director or his/her designee in which the school administration shall seek to
establish a behavior plan to eliminate further absences. Eventually, if that plan does not work, and/or not
earlier than the occasion of the 15th absence, the parent(s)/guardian(s) may be referred to the district
attorney of the county in which they are domiciled for failure to comply with the NC Compulsory
Attendance Law.
3. Students shall be subject to escalating disciplinary actions and penalties when they exceed 3 tardies (and
thereafter) to school or to any individual class.
4. Students may be retained in their current grade levels, non-promoted to the next grade, when they exceed
15 absences from school, regardless of their academic grade.
5. In the case of high school courses, students may be denied credit for the course when they exceed
absences, regardless of their academic grade.
116. When all other attempts to alleviate a student’s chronic truancy (defined as absences and/or tardies to
class or to school) have failed, the Director may recommend to the Board the permanent expulsion of the
student from Falls Lake Academy on the basis of repeated insubordination and/or non-compliance with the
NC Compulsory Attendance Law, which shall be considered a deliberate surrender of the student’s
enrollment slot by the student’s parent(s).
Board Policy 4.2000 Attendance
MAKE-UP ASSIGNMENTS: Students will have 3 days after returning from an excused absence to
complete any missed work. Teachers also have the professional discretion to work with students on make-
up work requirements. If students are not completing make up assignments as instructed, parents will be
personally notified and students will be required to attend Lunch Academy and/or Firetime.
